Denounce the layoffs? What if the company needs to make the cost cutting measures in order to stay afloat? Companies exist to make a profit, not to provide jobs - they hire the number of people necessary to get the job done any more than that is a waste of expenses.
Layoffs are an unfortunate necessity of reducing costs in a down market. They are closing the plants down. If the work doesn't exist, how exactly would they keep the people on board? I wonder if the plants that will be receiving the work from CT are non-union.
Also, they're laying off 1000 people, not 2000.
